This morning we drove ahead of the route to be welcomed by The Right Reverend Dr. Claude Miller, The Very Reverend Keith Joyce and members of Christ Church Cathedral in Fredericton. It was wonderful to be able to speak at church today, as the church encompasses so many people from within the community.
